Visual Studio

Once you've installed this project template with the dotnet new -i ... command, you will see these project templates in your Visual Studio's "Create new project" dialog.

What is the difference between the new .NET 7 empty template?

• .NET 6.0 support
• Rich initial loading page indicator for Blazor WebAssembly. (The normal project template of Blazor WebAssembly on .NET 7 SDK has an excellent progress indication loading page. but the empty project template only shows "Loading..." static text at the top left corner of the page.)
• No routing by default. (You can also enable routing support explicitly)
• No shared layout by default. (You can also enable shared layout explicitly)

In short, this "minimal" template will generate a much simpler project structure and files (by default, it doesn't even have routing code and shared layout code) than the new .NET 7 empty template.
